Program Is National Model for Developmental Math Success Bill Gates, chairman of the Microsoft Corporation and co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, went to math class April 20 at Foothill College. The software pioneer visited the Los Altos Hills campus to do some homework on Foothill’s innovative Math My Way Program, which is helping students grasp basic math concepts, outperform their peers, and progress faster to college-level math classes. Nineteen Math My Way students were told in advance that a special guest wanted to observe instructors Nicole Gray, Rachel Mudge and Kathy Perino to gain a better understanding of how they teach developmental math. Students were surprised when Gates walked into the classroom. Later, the students had the opportunity to talk with Gates about how Math My Way methods are making a difference for them. “He came to our class because he’s concerned that students in the U.S. aren’t progressing and excelling in math as fast as students in other countries,” said Foothill pre-law major Cassandra Wong. “He heard from us that Math My Way definitely does help! It should be offered in more schools. I’m confident my grade in math class will be an ‘A’ this quarter. Without Math My Way, I might have only earned a ‘C’.” Gates and his team are looking at models and best practices in developmental mathematics education. They heard about Math My Way during a meeting at the Gates Foundation offices in Seattle with Foothill-De Anza Chancellor Linda Thor, who was invited to discuss her experiences with innovative online learning programs. Top: Foothill students talk with Bill Gates about the Thor said having Gates visit Foothill college’s innovative Math My Way Program. Bottom: Gates and Foothill College student Christian Devito “presented a wonderful opportunity for discuss how the program helps reinforce math us to share a successful program that concepts. Photos by Barbara Kinney, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. could be used in any high school or community college to give math-averse students a solid foundation that will carry them into college-level mathematics and science with confidence. We are all grateful for the work of the Gates Foundation to ensure that more students have opportunities to succeed in school.” (continued on page H2)

New Students: Get Priority Registration This Fall!
Take the Introduction to College Class This Summer
Enroll in Foothill’s one-unit CNSL 50: Introduction to College course this summer, and you’ll get priority registration and the best selection of classes later this fall. New students (those who have never attended Foothill classes) are required to enroll in this orientation class, so it’s smart to take it this summer. With statewide budget cuts and other economic pressures, college officials expect more students at Foothill this summer and later this fall. Because more students will be registering for Foothill classes, you’ll need to act early. This means using the summer months to take placement tests, if necessary; meet with a Foothill counselor after you’ve completed the application process; register for your classes as soon as possible; and enroll in the CNSL 50 course this summer.
Save Time & Money: Meet with a Foothill Counselor “If you’re a first-time student, start your college experience right by meeting with a Foothill counselor. We want to work with you to ensure that you don’t spend time, money or energy taking classes you don’t need to graduate and/or transfer. Our counselors will work with you to develop your education plan and help you select the courses that are right for your needs,” says Foothill Dean of Counseling & Matriculation Laureen Balducci, M.S. “I also want you to register for your classes as soon as your designated registration time permits,” she says. “If you wait to register, you may get shut out of the classes that you need. If that happens, meet with a counselor. Together, you’ll review the specifics of your educational plan, and you’ll be better able to pick classes accordingly.”
Start Smart: Take CNSL 50 Class Now The CNSL 50 course gives you an orientation to the programs and services that are available to you at Foothill College. You’ll also get an overview of California’s higher education system, including UC, CSU and private universities, and explore career programs, university transfer options and guaranteed university admission programs. You’ll team up with a Foothill counselor to design your educational plan so that you take the classes you need to achieve your college and career goals. Choose a CNSL 50 class that meets in person, is self-paced or meets entirely online. To review course times, access the online schedule. You may be exempt from CNSL 50 if you have verifiable proof that you completed an orientation course at another college, or completed 30 or more college units.

Bill Gates Visits Foothill (continued from front cover) The goal of Math My Way ultimately is to increase the number of science, math and engineering graduates at Foothill College and expand opportunity for students from historically underserved groups, such as Latinos and African Americans, to earn advanced degrees in these subject areas. The program is instrumental in preparing students with poor math skills to advance into college-level mathematics, a gateway class for transfer to a four-year university. “In our culture it’s socially acceptable to say ‘I’m bad at math.’ This must change. If our nation’s math education and ‘numeracy’ are to change, it will take influence to cause that cultural shift. We need to help students learn to address their issues with math—not ignore them,” Gray said. Concerned that so many students arrived at the college unprepared and were not progressing in mathematics, Gray, Mudge and Perino teamed up three years ago to create a new approach to developmental math, which they called Math My Way. The program groups together cohorts of students who have similar math skill levels. Through small group interaction and one-to-one attention from math instructors, students are challenged by computer drills, paper drills and computer games that reinforce mathematical concepts. Math My Way is offered on a pass/no pass basis and often allows the student to complete in one quarter what originally took two quarters. Success is literally built into the program. Working at their own pace, students must master each conceptual building block before progressing to the next level, and can move quickly through the program to more advanced coursework. Math My Way is comprised of two courses, MATH 230: Preparing for Algebra (5 units) and MATH 231: Math-Specific Study Skills (2 units). “If we are to increase the number of math, science and engineering degrees, we must improve our student success in pre-collegiate-level math classes,’’ said Foothill College President Judy C. Miner. “We were honored to host Mr. Gates and to introduce him to the outstanding work going on in our Math My Way Program.” “We want students’ math experience to be positive,” said Foothill College Physical Sciences, Mathematics & Engineering Division Dean Peter Murray. “Our mutual goal is to help students develop math confidence, grasp basic math concepts and ultimately be able to succeed at the next level of math (e.g., algebra).” In 2007, the League for Innovation in the Community College presented its prestigious Innovation of the Year Award to members of the Foothill College Mathematics Department who developed the Math My Way basic skills and developmental education program. The team included math instructors Gray, Phuong Lam, Faun Maddux, Mudge, Perino and Murray, the dean.
